Even if you've never heard of this band you'll more than likely know their music after a number of high-profile slots on
television soundtracks. The brainchild of former solo artist Dan Smith, they sprung onto the scene in 2011 and are tipped
for even bigger things over the coming months and years.

After a stint with Elton John's management company writing songs alongside the likes of Empire of the Sun's Nick Littlemore,
singer-songwriter Smith decided to strike it out on his own as a solo artist. Months later he realised that his music could
only come to life with the help of a talented band of performers, with the group as we know it today forming in 2011. After
signing to quirky indie label Young and Lost Club, the band released their debut 7" single 'Flaws/Icarus' in June 2011. This
led to a string of support slots at major UK festivals including Glastonbury, Isle of Wight Festival and Blissfields. April
2012 saw their debut major label release on Virgin Records, with hype-generating single 'Overjoyed'. Its success saw it chosen
by Q magazine as their track of the day for 7th March 2012.
The band's potential was realised later in the year with performances at Reading and Leeds Festival and the use of their
songs on hit TV shows including Made in Chelsea and Hollyoaks. Their simple yet emotionally compelling lyrics
look to propel the band into the big time with their slick synth pop sound. Discover the charms of this unique act by browsing
